Syosset Students Bring Home Hardware From Math Fair

Bringing home a total of 38 medals, the Syosset Central School District had a very impressive showing at the 2018 Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair held at Hofstra University in April. Students competed against schools from all across Nassau County. The students selected a mathematical topic, thoroughly researched the topic, prepared a written report, which included their own ideas and creative input, and then presented their work to a panel of judges.

Eighteen Syosset students won medals in the high school competition and 20 Syosset students won medals in the middle school competition.
